I stumbled out of bed
|
I got ready for the struggle
|
I smoked a cigarette
|
And I tightened up my gut
|
I said this can't be me
|
Must be my double
|
And I can't forget, I can't forget
|
I can't forget but I don't remember what
|
I'm burning up the road
|
I'm heading down to Phoenix
|
I got this old address
|
Of someone that I knew
|
It was high and fine and free
|
Ah, you should have seen us
|
And I can't forget, I can't forget
|
I can't forget but I don't remember who
|
|
I'll be there today
|
With a big bouquet of cactus
|
I got this rig that runs on memories
|
And I promise, cross my heart,
|
They'll never catch us
|
But if they do, just tell them it was me
|
|
Yeah I loved you all my life
|
And that's how I want to end it
|
The summer's almost gone
|
The winter's tuning up
|
Yeah, the summer's gone
|
But a lot goes on forever
|
And I can't forget, I can't forget
|
I can't forget but I don't remember what
|
|

I Can't Forget
